The crucial long-term planning document of the African Union (AU) is called the Agenda 2063. It was adopted at the AU “jubilee summit” dedicated to the 50 years anniversary of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). One of the key goals of the Agenda is to make Africa a dynamic force in the international arena, which is close to the key purpose of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation – to build a just multipolar world. During implementation of the Agenda in 2013–2023, African countries faced such persistent problems as unsatisfactory rate of economic growth, insufficient to ensure significant enhancement in the quality of life of Africans, armed conflicts and failed states, activities of international terrorist organisations and heavy dependence on foreign funding. Despite the above-mentioned serious difficulties, the AU achieved good results in the political field, consequently standing for increasing its role in international relations, opposing Western sanctions against its member states and striving for enlarging Africa’s representation in international institutions
